And finally, 

still got a little luster left, awww.

That's it! Show's over! Beat it!

Haha! Just kidding! Hang out, post some pics, all good. 

So happy to find this happy little '64 dime

Ollie Ollie oxen free! Calling all daily find junkies. Oh, just me? I'm used to it. I had a rare skunk day on S and W, which is fine because when that happens, the coin gods open the silver window. 

This looks clad, so it got past me peepers, but me ear holes heard the clunk.

That my friend is a Elagabalus AD 218-222 Denarius.

A Roman emperor with a sorted past, who took the throne at age 14 and died at 18. The Ancient crew can correct me if I'm wrong:) 
 

 

 

Thank you! Lol

Most of the time when we talking about a NGC Registry Set, CJ. I have a few sets I am working on. If you want to make one you have to use NGC or PCGS slabed coins to get the point standings. I think you can make custom sets also but I have not made one for raw coins yet.

Another early riser, good to know. I won't ever be making any sets, as you have to pay for slabbed coins, lol. But i look forward to seeing yours! Have a great day!

I got some new members for the Nickel set. A very nice 1946 S a clean sharp looking coin. Also got a  gold toned 1975 D. Looking at it I was thinking it was encapsulated to soon . It was still starting to turn on the reverse. I wonder if it will continue to change now it is in plastic ? I doubt it.

Fantastic looking coins. I'm new to all the terminology. So a "set" needs to be slabbed to be a set. What I'm doing is just filling books. Like i said, if you need any raw circulated nickels, i can supply, lol.

What the heck is that thing?! If you go ancient, aren't you supposed to obnoxiously list it's genus and species? I can't read Australian, so i have no idea the who, or the what. Oh well. Looks lovely, i guess? Ancients ain't my thing,

Just fine, thank you! At some point, either before or after this post, I read: "so, yes, if all you're coming for here is knowledge" and it hit me like a ton of bricks: I was obligated, OBLIGATED, to relinquish my title, "wordsmith" as bestowed upon me by an elite, highly-regarded, very helpful-- "go look it up yourself"--type member. Now my reign is over. I humbly concede @CoinJockey73.  

I'm laughing out loud over here! Wordsmith?! Now that's a title I'll never be guilty of having and certainly the first ever accusation of such! It's all yours, my friend, all yours. 

I keep telling everyone, me no good with numbers am words. 

Edit: I'm having one of those, "l’esprit de l’escalier" moments. I should have run with it, crud. Next time.

Marone! Even I know that and I'm not Italian.  

Well, when i try to call myself the word that rhymes with boron, it auto corrects to some silly saying, so, gotta go Bugs Bunny on em, lol. What a maroon! What a gull-a-bull! What a nin cow poop! Let's see what that gets auto corrected to

@ShinyObjects, thank you for checking in brother.

Ya I kinda like nickels. I have a few I am putting into books. Thank you for the offer if I get stuck I will give you a shout CJ. 

PM me your address, and I'll send you a pound or two of raw nickels with some foreign mixed in, if you're interested. If not, like you said, hit me up when you need me, I'll be around.

Laying around? Not s’much. Examined, attributed, and filed? Tons. Almost literally tons. Actually just shy of a ton. 

That's amazing! Awesome for you! See how nice that feels? Being happy for someone? Oh man, does that feel good! 

And you really have a ton of coins? A ton? I think i have 4 kilos of found silver. And you hate me? Hate little old me? For 4 measly kilos, when you have a ton?! Come on man!

Now how can you not like this. I am just going through a roll of Jefferson's and this 61 year old VF 1961 D  pops up. This is why I love to roll hunt. It is not worth more than a buck or two but it looks better than some MS slabed Nickels I have seen. 

Are you an old tyme nickel person? I can send out a bunch of nickels to you to see if any fill holes. Years from 1939-1959 i can get tons. Sorry @Dano1969, but you know me, i gotta share the wealth! Lovely lookin nickel, btw.

Note, no silver nickels, sorry. Unless you need one to fill a hole. If so, i have plenty of extras. Just let me know

It’s this that makes me the anti-you:

I have zero interest in coins, other than how much i can make off them,

 

It’s not just that I am different from this. It’s that this really “urines me off”. This hobby has too many takers and not enough givers. And no, I am NOT of the school of thought that anything you wanna do is okay. You can find that all over here. Not me. It’s not, and I won’t pretend it is. 

Hey man, don't blow a gasket! You must understand, I'm new to coin anything. I was basically forced into it. So while I'm here, I'm learning. I haven't made a dime off any coin, so cool your jets. You see what i post up, right? There are no half caf bust micro ribbon anything. It's modern quarters! You getting that worked up about me holding on to some modern quarters? What you got stacked up somewhere? I'm guessing quite a bit more than me. So... stones and glass houses don't mix well. Unless you don't have anything laying around, of course. 

Maybe you should be anti matter, instead of anti me, lol. Still luv ya, that'll never stop.

And I admit that I am the anti-you. What you do is everything I stand against in this hobby. 

How so? Examples, please. I'm not even in your hobby, so I'm a little confused. Or maybe it's you who is confused as to what i am, exactly? No need to be anti-me, lol. 

Polar opposite me? No prob. I meet A LOT of those,

No need for apologies. I have always considered myself a no BS kind of guy and I like others to say what they think. Most of the regulars know my song so I don't think I have to worry about a reputation to protect. I am a roll hunter and I collect what I can afford to pick up cheap. Until I retired I always thought of myself as a coin saver and not a collector. I never had much extra money for anything with four girls to raise. Now that I have some time I am starting to become a bit of a collector.  

You and me are gonna get along just fine! Nice to meet you! Coin saver, now i like that. That's what we are. I never said it out loud, but I was a stacker, now I'm a saver, lol. Too cool. Hope all is well with you and yours.

You bet.  I like seeing circulation finds... not fake double dies and parking lot coins, but actual finds.  I get excited over every silver coin, W mint, or impaired proof I find in change.  I know that they are not valuable, but it's a fun game.

I do not collect coins for the money or the women.

I wish i knew more, and had more time. I know stuff gets by me all the time. Feel free to post up anything you've found, or quite frankly, anything you feel like. I luv seeing all the stuff you guys have. 

And I'll have to tell the better 9/10 that there's both money AND women in coins! I'm sure she'll be surprised as heck! Lol

Have a great afternoon

Wow! @Just Bob! Big leagues! Pretty cool man, pretty cool!

I am not a slow collector.  I am not a fast collector.  I am a half-fast collector. 

Thank you both for stopping by. Means a lot.

Will do.  Keep the streak going!  A buffalo a day keeps the boredom away!

We'll see what tomorrow brings. Can you imagine 3 days in a row? I'm not sure that's happened before. I'd have to go to CT to check

I do not consider talking about coins a hijack in any thread, I am also sorry collecting coins doesn't  make you happy. I just love finding oddities and picking up good deals on great coins for my collections. You seam to be well informed in numismatics. Do you just roll hunt or buy and sell coins also CJ?

My apologies for being so blunt. I do get joy from my finds, but it's not a hobby at all. Maybe when i have a little more time. I do not roll hunt and I've purchased only a few coins. I'm thinking of selling some of the stuff I've found on ebay, but the thought gives me ahgaduh, i think that's the word. And you could fill a thimble just under half way with my numismatic knowledge, but your comment just made my week, thank you, and probably ruined a few seasoned veteran's opinions of you, in the process, lol. Hope to see you around!

That just might be the saddest darned thing I’ve ever read here. 

I put it out there @VKurtB, I'm not gonna fake it. That's the real me. But i do find some cool stuff. You've seen my thread. Found some cool stuff, today! 

Sorry for hijacking the thread! Everyone have a great day! 

Crazy that stuff made it out of the print shop. Keep em coming!
